CULTURAL IMPACT

Charismatic Lizzo, a Grammy-winning singer/rapper, confidently blends her roots in Houston rap, gospel soul, and classical flute while addressing race, sexuality, and body positivity. Her 2013 debut, Lizzobangers, reflected her years in Minneapolis' hip-hop and indie music scenes (Doomtree's Lazerbeak was one of its producers), and her style evolved into something more broad and melodic over time. She added more R&B and gospel to her sound on 2015's self-released Big Grrrl Small World, a trend that continued on her brash major-label debut album, 2019's platinum-selling, Grammy-winning Cuz I Love You, which featured hits like "Good as Hell," "Truth Hurts," and "Juice." She doubled down on her instantly catchy feel-good anthems with 2022's Special.
